Send us a text Shame isn’t always loud. For high-achieving women, it’s often invisible, disguised as overgiving, perfectionism, emotional self-editing, or endlessly proving your worth. In this powerful episode of Magnetic Minute of Hope, I'm unpacking the subtle, high-functioning ways shame shows up in our lives and businesses. If you've ever hustled for validation, stayed silent to avoid conflict, or micromanaged your life in the name of “excellence,” this episode will show you the deeper em...

This episode is a reminder that the void isn’t a punishmen...

Send us a text What if you stopped apologizing for where you are? In this week’s Magnetic Minute of Hope, I share a powerful realization that came to me on a family beach trip, one that cracked open a deeper layer of healing around shame, identity, self-worth, self acceptance, and personal growth. It started with one comment. One instinct to explain. And it ended with a decision: I am unshameable. If you’ve ever felt the need to overexplain, prove, or justify your life, your progr...
